2026 Projections
Signed by the Cowboys in March of 2026.
Placed on reserve/injured list
The Cowboys placed Hennessy (neck) on the reserve/injured list Thursday.
ANALYSIS
This was an expected move, as Hennessy underwent neck surgery in early June. The center currently has no return timeline but is set to serve as Cooper Beebe's backup once he returns to the field.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
Hennessy, who started all 17 games at center in 2021, has battled a lingering knee injury for almost a year and was relegated to backup duties in 2022, but he's expected to be healthy for Week 1 of 2023. When available, the 2020 third-round pick will compete with rookie second-round pick Matthew Bergeron for the starting left guard spot now that Elijah Wilkinson is in Arizona.
